My number 1 way? With a spoon.

Maybe it's just how I wash dishes by hand, but I have a hard time believing that my dishwasher is more efficient than I am. The thing takes like 40 minutes just to wash the load.

I agree with the above poster who said it makes a great drying rack, though.

Rubbing alcohol is a little extreme... do you use that to clean regular dishes as well?

I do the wet paper towel steam thing which usually gets it pretty clean. If it's still dirty, I just set it in the sink and clean it with a soapy sponge, then let it air dry a while.

HOLY. FREAKING. CRAP.
That is awesome.

I'm having one for dinner!

Also, the bacon in that first picture is WAY too cooked for my taste - I like it slightly crispy but not dry like that.

Ask 20 people how to boil crawfish and you'll get 20 different responses.

The soak is the most important part - I don't usually boil them for more like 2-3 minutes, but a good half hour soak is a must, longer is OK if you can get your guests to wait.

Also, one pound per person is low. Even with corn, potatoes, and bread (get fresh French bread - it helps kill the heat for the noobs and is great with the garlic spread on it), we usually get enough for four pounds per person. At best, that leaves us with enough leftover meat for a batch of etoufee.

Like kate and pkthunder said, adding fat will eliminate the boiling over. However, instead of butter or oil, try adding a Tablespoon of ground flaxseed.

I've found that this keeps my oatmeal from boiling over, and it adds omega-3s and fiber!

AWESOME

I wish all politicians were that cool!

Don't do it!
